New York will get a double shot of Victory Monday joy this week.
Sunday’s Jets-Browns contest in Cleveland feels like a referendum on head coach Robert Saleh following his controversial comments earlier in the week. And Gang Green delivered for him with a stunning 31-30 come-from-behind win.
On the other side of town, the Giants are officially one of the biggest surprises of the year so far after improving to 2-0 with a 19-16 win over the Panthers at MetLife Stadium.
